Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin 2024 Experiences and Expert Review

FunkyFrankee

The Africa Twin is an adventure bike as an adventure bike should be. This was already true for the predecessor model and did not change with the increase in displacement and power. Because this remained manageable at 102 hp and Honda even managed to shed a few kilos compared to the CRF1000L. So it retained its versatility and works just as well on the motorway as it does off-road. The chassis absorbs pretty much all bumps, the engine remains confident in every situation and the ergonomics and seating comfort are exemplary. A bike for every day as well as for the big journey - wherever that may take you.
